Far-right and self-proclaimed anti-Islam pundit is expelled from a restaurant, and decries discrimination on the grounds of religious beliefs. If only Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was capable of critical thought: this could mark a turning point. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Omw to work every morning, my bus traversed the Hogarth Roundabout in Chiswick. This roundabout has a "temporary-turned-permanent" flyover, letting A316 traffic onto the A4 skip the roundabout. I still describe quick/dirty software workarounds as Hogarth Flyovers. www.flickr.com/photos/earli...

I really wish people used good couriers like DPD and gave up on DHL Express. Missing three consecutive estimated delivery days with zero contact is a really poor show.

If you ever find yourself dwelling on something embarrassing you did, just remember that no matter how mortifying it was, it will never be as bad as Linux on the desktop. Unless you're an AMD developer working on amdgpu, in which case most of that particular embarrassment is on you ;-)

This Home Office white paper is pretty silly, eh? Labour are again missing the point and playing into Farage's hands, and will harm the health and social care services even further in doing so. It is painfully obvious that Starmer and the Labour whip simply don't have any original ideas.

I'm announcing emergency funding to address a mental health crisis in Lincolnshire, where thousands of people are suffering from delusions, believing that Andrea Jenkyns gives a shit about them.

@andreajenkyns.bsky.social talking about placing migrants in tents rather than hotels during her mayoral acceptance speech is peak insanity. Never seen someone so utterly devoid of charisma be so utterly enraging at the same time. What a vile person.

There is a special place in hell for for the developers of npm packaging tools. We have to stop enabling JavaScript developers. It's for their own good.

@coralogix.bsky.social is the worst observability platform. Slow, buggy, unreliable ingest, a huge volume of low information density docs, and DataPrime makes some simple queries horrendously verbose and awful to type. It's so obvious they use Datadog to monitor their platform.

@kevinbonavia.bsky.social why are you ignoring my emails about Openreach's revised plans to cover our area?

@utilitywarehouse.bsky.social please don't make me raise a formal complaint to get you to stop billing me for a gas meter that was removed nearly two weeks ago. You've tested my patience to breaking point over this.

There's nothing quite like the glee a person feels when they manage to exit a contract with a company as awful as Virgin Media without having to pay their early termination fee. I guess we can now archive github.com/LukeCarrier/... 😂

Controversial take of the day: Kubernetes is only well loved because operations teams can blame it for the pain it thrusts on their less nebulous developer counterparts.

Oi @larryelliaon.bsky.social, you typoed your name you wally. Isn't it about time EvilCorp removed their mandatory login from 2019 vintage Instant Client downloads? Why you gotta prevent me from installing your godawful malware in scripts?

Props to cert-manager and the Kubernetes ecosystem in general for having some of the most unnecessarily awful build systems I have ever had the misfortune of suffering through. I have spent two hours trying to get their E2E test suite working on NixOS as their "make modules" download prebuilt slop

@cloudflare.social: your company's DNS API is not versioned very well: github.com/cert-manager... Considering the amount of sites dependent on yuour DNS service you really need to do a better job of: 1. Versioning. 2. Outreach. I am so tired of debugging things that you have broken.

And don't forget: self-host, seize the means of production! So many SaaS vendors are abusing their users by training AI models on data they have no rightful ownership claim to.
